Psychedelic users feel very strongly that their motivation is healthy and ethical, and that users see these drugs as a tool for bringing about changes which they deem desirable.
Ever wondered how psychedelics like iboga fit into the broader tapestry of modern society? In this episode of 'Iboganautics', host A.M. kicks off with Chapter 1 of their master's thesis, diving deep into the philosophical and cultural nuances of psychedelic technology. This isn't just another chat about iboga's addiction-interrupting properties; it's a journey through the intricate history and societal implications of these powerful substances. A.M.
takes listeners on a thought-provoking ride, examining how figures like Jacques Derrida challenge mainstream views and how societies, particularly the United States, have historically handled the use and perception of psychedelics. The episode sheds light on the institutionalization of those who don't conform and explores the pivotal moments when mental illness was equated with psychedelic states.
Philosophical anthropologist Arnold Galen's insights on undirected drives and the role of culture and institutions in providing stability are discussed, offering a fresh perspective on how society manages these powerful experiences. Listeners will also hear fascinating notes from the psychedelic underground, where users argue that their motivations are both healthy and ethical. The episode doesn't shy away from the tough topics, addressing the incommunicability of intense experiences and the dual nature of psychedelic journeys—both sublime and terrifying.
If you're curious about the deeper philosophical questions surrounding psychedelics, this episode is a must-listen.
